Maybe should just get this and I can have a 'BB' today, 'Moonwatch' tomorrow, and an 'ExpII' the following day. Haha.

My speedmaster pro brown dial edition. Some people call it 'faux tropical brown'.  ;D It is not too brownish and not really black. Bought it through ebay from seller in Japan after i had exhausted looking for it in malaysian market. Watch initially was detained by KLIA custom. I received a letter from them with option either to appoint Pos malaysia as agent or collect it myself. I tried my luck and went there, open its box and showed the watch to custom personnel. Then declared its price as RM1000, person in charge at the counter ask me twice and i said yes it's RM1000. She smiled at me and returned to me its actual receipt that came with the watch, (tax calculated as RM780) and told me to just keep it while she wrote in the declaration form with price as RM1000 and calculated its tax including others that i had to pay only RM78. I smiled and yeehaaa...  :Dancing_banana: save me RM700...  ;D

Love the speedy for its history........

Print both on paper, one stick on left side from your bed, right side the other
See after two weeks which side did you face the most when you wake up ;D

The movement is important for me. The BB uses an ETA movement, which many other companies use nowadays. The moonwatch has more pedigree and history, has a chronograph that was actually used in space, and looks better imo. Haha I'm ok with using ETA or Valjoux movements for chronographs since it is a very difficult and expensive movement to create in-house. But the BB isn't one. Moonwatch Speedy all the way!  :Cheers:

another votes go for omega moonwatch, my own preference.

But it is really depends on what is the collection you own now, and the priority of the types of watch you wish to get

I think one major 'stumbling block' for me now is that the moonwatch is a little too big on my wrist.

I think the tudor is fatter but the tudor is 41mm vs moonwatch 42mm. Plus I think the BB's bezel is thicker which to my eye, gives the illusion of a smaller watch face?

It was the same with my Sinn 857. Its a 43mm but because of the bezel, it seems to fit my wrist. Most other 41+ diameters always seemed too large.

Not sure if this makes sense, but I'm rationalising it based on what I've tried on and noticed.

the speedy bezel is only 40mm in diameter (technically 39.7mm, for comparison a rolex sub is 39.5mm).
but yes, speedy has a larger dial, but it still feels smaller...
combination of case design, lug design, 20mm vs 22mm lugs...all adds up :P

here's something from google...
